Forever21 jeans... questions and suggestions needed

minivanmom

AlexSue mentioned to me in my other thread that Forever21 jeans are on sale now for around $10. And since I don't want to spend a lot on pants that will not fit in a few months due to hopefully loosing the baby weight, $10 sounds right in my price range.

I've never purchased anything from this store so I have no clue about their fit. Nor do I have a store near me. I just bought a pair of Ladies Levi 505 straight leg in a size 8. They fit great... maybe a little snug in the waist due to the leftover baby belly.

So I need suggestions on size and styles from those that have bought their jeans. I am a rectangular body shape with hourglass tendencies and need a regular jean length. Will be wearing these tucked into grey suede slouchy boots and tall dark brown riding boots. Dark wash. I'm assuming these are in Junior sizes?

I don't know anything about Forever 21 jeans, Brandy. But perhaps someone else can help out.

I have a pair of f21 jeans that I bought over the summer. They have loads of denim and honestly, it's hard for me to distinguish among them. I just categorize them by price. Anyway, I bought a pair of $13.50 ones in white over the summer and they are super, super stretchy. I am normally a 6 (gap, BR) or 28/29 (J Crew, premium) in denim at other places and I tried on a 28,29,and 30. I ended up with a 28 and they totally stretch out after a couple of hours of wear. I wish I had sized down to a 27! I am not sure if the colored denim would be less stretchy. The rise is not super low - maybe about 8"? If you're truly rectanglish on the bottom, these should work because they are cut very straight. Definitely for a juniors build and definitely not great quality but will work for temporary wear if you don't want to spend alot.

Oh, and these jeans are not that long. I'm only 5' and they worked fine with a little scrunch. Depending on your height, these might only work for tucking.

I'm actually wearing mine today http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....n-question I'm wearing a 27, and I usually wear a 4 in other stores. I think that a 29 would probably fit you well. The sizes aren't junior sizes, but waist sizes, I believe (but not natural waist sizes). The length is great too. I'm 5'4'' and sometimes have trouble with pants being too long, but these bunch quite nicely (and not bulky). They are pretty stretchy, but I haven't had issues with them stretching out (but maybe I haven't worn them enough to notice yet?). I think that they would definitely work with your shape, but I think that they work with curvier bodies too (I'm an hourglass, and I think that they look alright).

I forgot to mention, they also have straight cuts for the same price too if you're not comfortable in the skinnies. Either way, I think that they'll fit fine in boots.
